80s (or thereabouts) song lyrics thread 6

[CoffeeBeansGalore]

Hi All

Thread 6 here we go.

Post a few lines of a song from the 70s, 80s, 90s & we will try to guess the song & singer/band.

Correct, Layla 👍

Thanks for the times that you've given me
The memories are all in mind
And now that we've come
To the end of our rainbow
There's something I must say out loud!
1970s

Three times a lady

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies 👍😊

When no-one else can understand me
When everything I do is wrong
You give me hope and consolation
You give me strength to carry on
1970s

When no-one else can understand me
When everything I do is wrong
You give me hope and consolation
You give me strength to carry on

The wonder of you, Elvis Presley?

@Fleamaker123, yes, well done 👍

@Fleamaker123 belated 👍 for Go West.

@Bluesheep8

Shattered fragments of the past Meet in veins on the stained glass Like the lifeline in your palm Red and green reflects the scene Of a long forgotten dream

This has bloomin bugging me all day. I'm pretty sure it's Siouxsie and the Banshees - Israel. I've enjoyed sifting through so many albums and playlists to find out, much fun, thank you.

simplysteve YESSSSSSSSS!! Correct! glad it took you on a trip down memory lane

Come around at Christmas
I really wanna see you
Smile at me slyly
Another festive compromise
(80s)

No one got this

Everybody walking down the street
Everybody moving to the beat
They're gonna get hot down in the U.S.A
New York, Detroit, L.A.
1980s
ELO, All over the world.

I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I want to feel you in my arms again
1970s

How deep is your love

See them walking hand in hand
Across the bridge at midnight
Heads turning as the lights flashing out
Are so bright

GBarmy - Girls On Film

Apologies if you've had this one:

And now I'm lying here alone
'Cause you're out there on the phone
To some star in New York

80s

Aaargh, where did my paragraphs go?

My lyrics are from the 80s :

"And now I'm lying here alone
'Cause you're out there on the phone
To some star in New York"

@GBarmy correct How deep is your love👍

Did anyone get this? I posted it a few days but haven’t been able to be on the thread much. Should I post a couple more lines?

It’s an 80s one.

Couldn't agree when we were both free
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch

BabyMoonPie, that's There's a Guy Works Down The Chip Shop Swears He's Elvis, by the late great Kirsty McColl.

@SingingBabooshkaBadly yes please, a few more lines 😊

@ThatLibraryMiss - that's right. Most fantastic song title ever (in my humble!)

Summer, Buddy Holly, the working folly
Good golly, Miss Molly and boats
Hammersmith Palais, the Bolshoi Ballet
Jump back in the alley and nanny goats
1970s

Ok - here’s a bit more:

Flashback to springtime, saw him again
Would've been good to go for lunch
Couldn't agree when we were both free
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch
Didn't, of course, 'til summertime
